Vidal Nuno

Pounding the zone with modest command is a recipe for disaster in the Bronx, so it wasn’t a huge surprise when Nuno pitched to a 5.42 ERA thanks in large part to his 1.7 HR/9 rate. A trade to Arizona ...

Nuno played his way into the Yankees' plans with a big spring training, and he looked pretty good in five appearances (three starts) for the team early in the season before being shut down with a groin injury in June. Nuno doesn't have any true plus offerings, but he mixes his pitches well, and if the 26-year-old can't find a spot with the Yankees, he could catch on a back-end starter elsewhere.
